mini festival brands hatch

Post by almondgreen »

I am planning to visit Brands Hatch in two weeks.
I tried to find a list, when the different races start, but did not find it.
Can anyone help me.
Are there interesting events on Satureday morning, or is it early enough to come early afternoon?

I really wish I was attending this event!

I have a few good mates who are going down, and would really like to join in.

Unfortunately, I am already committed to another event that I can't get out of.

I know that there a few MK1 Forum members who will be attending, showing & racing.

PLEASE Make sure that if you go you take a lot of pictures & post them here.
